She draws strength from the Christian faith and on occasion expresses worship through freestyle, Spirit-lead dance that engages her body-mind-soul-and-spirit. It’s the form of worship she felt called to at the age of nineteen. And that’s a story she’ll share in a future ebook whose title she already has, namely, ‘What came because I asked.’
Deborah shares her life with Dene, her closest friend, business partner and multi-talented author-musician-coach-speaker-photographer-second-husband of nearly two decades. She and Dene are very proud of their four grown-up sons. And, as they all live elsewhere, she misses them immensely. In an ideal world she’d love to have them all live closer by.
Having emigrated to Canada in 2000, from South Africa, she and Dene now live in beautiful British Columbia – and are proudly Canadian!
